Elon Musk launched Friday evening, November 18, 2022, a consultation on Twitter regarding a return to the network of former US President Donald Trump.
A few hours following indicating that he had not yet made a decision on the possibility of reintegrating Donald Trump into Twitter, Elon Musk asked the question on Friday in a survey addressed to users of the social network. As of 1:45 a.m. GMT, 59.6% of the nearly 2 million responses favored a return for the former president, who was banned from Twitter for his role in his supporters’ assault on the Capitol on January 6, 2021. as elected officials certify Joe Biden’s victory.
Nothing says that the whimsical multibillionaire will bend to the choice of Internet users, but he added, in response to the survey, a Latin adage suggesting that the decision would be up to the people: “Vox Populi, Vox Dei” (“The voice of the people is the voice of God”). Donald Trump, who liked to use Twitter as a mouthpiece, was followed by more than 88 million subscribers. He warned that he would not return to the blue bird platform, and would remain on his own network, Truth Social, launched following his exclusion.
